As most of you know since I returned from my vacation I made a decision to start cooking again and no more takeaways or eating out every night. This is the best decision I have made in a very long time, I am enjoying cooking so much that its become 2nd nature to me. Today I made my very first lasagne and its yummy I have enough left to carry to work tomorrow. I also baked my first cookies (kinda just mixed things up and added some raspberries and they are too yummy.
I have noticed it is not as hard as I thought to eat healthy, it is so simple and I do not really have to spend an arm and a leg to buy healthy foods. I have noticed Sainsbury actually stock healthy foods on reasonable prices, I have always depended on Aldi and lidl for healthy but cheap foods.
Breakfast --> I am now a changed person, I eat breakfast at home before I leave for work and if I am rushing I pack either the granola with fruits or the porridge with banana, raisins and honey.
Lunch --> My lunches vary these days but mostly contain some sort of salad, today at work I had beef stew with salad (I know very original but thats how I wanted it).
Dinner --> This also varies, sometimes I feel like eating warm foods and other times I just have a salad which mostly is mackerel salad.

DeleteSo great that you're cooking at home so much now - I started doing 5-night weekly meal planning last year and it was life changing. I now love cooking and it's become such a ritual! If you ever need meal planning inspiration, hop over to Gloss and Coffee :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely checking you out hun, I could do with some inspiration thats for sure.
DeleteMmm this all looks delicious! I love cooking, but don't always get a lot of time after work. The boyfriend is cooking for me tonight though - lucky!
ReplyDeleteKatie <3
Lucky girl indeed, I always cook after work coz its the only time I can. I wake up usually at 4am and not in best mood to cook or even best time lol
DeleteEverything looks delicious and now I'm rumbly in my tumbly! <3 ::Winnie the Pooh tummy rub::
ReplyDeletehahaha love the connection hun x
DeleteCooking your own food is the best way to go. That stew and salad look delicious!
ReplyDeleteIts the only way I think and thank you.
DeleteYou have so much more control when you make your own meals at home - on portions, on ingredients - it makes a world of difference. I say that, but my hubby is the one that does all the cooking!
ReplyDeleteIts even better that hubby cooks for you, I am surprised by how much portion control I have I didnt realise it until last night when I was cooking meals for the rest of the week.
DeleteOatmeal always looks and smells so good but I just can't get into it! I might have to experiment to find the perfect combination.
ReplyDeleteExperiment is the key I think
DeleteOooh girl, you have just inspired dinner tonight -- beef stew and salad (low carb for me is the game). This looks freaking AWESOME. Thanks for the inspiration. Congrats on you keeping up with the cooking and eating healthy.

Thank you Anyana, glad to have inspired you.
DeleteEverything looks so amazing!!! I'm hungry now :) I need to be better about not eating out so much as well...it's just so hard!
ReplyDeleteIts hard but if I can make it trust me you can lol x
DeleteLooks good! I'm not a cook at all but this looks fairly simple
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteSo great that you're getting back into cooking - I always find it so much more satisfying than just going out for dinner constantly!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying my cooking so its great
DeleteYum! I enjoy cooking too~ :) As an alternative to honey, perhaps you might be interested in trying out maple syrup? The maple flavor is so perfect for fall for me, especially with some minced cooked apples/chunk applesauce. :9
